Taha Yasseri "Fooling with Facts! Quantifying cognitive biases with large-scale online experiments"

Humans’ cognitive abilities are subject to various biases both at the individual and collective levels. Such biases can have dramatic effects on our decision making. The rise of social media, crowd-sourced information repositories, and user-based information channels have raised the concern that “fake [or biased] information” along with “filter bubbles” will further distort the perception of reality that online users gain through online media leading to ill-informed decisions in political events and beyond. The proposed research aims to study and quantify two main processes in which such biases can be induced and affect our judgments, through a series of large scale field experiments. In particular we will focus on anchoring effect, that is irrational reliance on the provided numerical information, even unrelated, when making decision.
